Signs that your garage door may need repairs:

While you may be able to troubleshoot your garage door and opener’s issues by yourself and might be able to handle smaller repairs, bigger fixes can be dangerous so you should always get a professional to take care of those.
A few precautions to remember when you’re working on or checking your garage door:
- Always make sure to unplug the automatic door opener and shut off electricity.
- Clamp the track with locking pliers to ensure the door doesn’t drop down on you or others.
- Don’t try to adjust or release an overhead torsion spring’s tension.
- Don’t remove a lift cable when the door spring is under tension, it could seriously harm you.
